Trophic innovations fuel reef fish diversification
Nature Communications, 2020 Both geography and ecology can drive the origins of new species. Siqueira et al. show how geological changes in the structure of Miocene reefs and the concurrent evolution of new feeding strategies combine to explain why coral reefs contain such a ...

Science, 1994 The article" Catastrophes, phase shifts,and large-scale degradation of a Caribbean coral reef" by Terence P. Hughes (9 Sept., p.1547) relates the sad story of the decline of scleractinian coral populations in Jamaica over the past two decades. The article is a rare example of the long-term research needed to document trends on reefs; however, the ...

Social adaptation can reduce the strength of social–ecological feedbacks from ecosystem degradation
People and Nature, 2022 Feedbacks between people and ecosystems are central to the study of social–ecological systems (SES) but remain poorly understood. It is commonly assumed that changes in ecosystems leading to a reduction in ecosystem services will trigger human responses ...

The Formation of Coral Reefs [PDF]
Nature, 1904 IN NATURE for February 18 there is a paper by Mr. J. S. Gardiner giving a concise account of his theory of coral reefs. A more extended paper by him on the same subject appeared in the Geographical Journal for 1902, and was followed last year by one by Mr.

The future of coral reefs [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001 Coral reefs, with their millions of species, have changed profoundly because of the effects of people, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Reefs are subject to many of the same processes that affect other human-dominated ecosystems, but some special features merit emphasis: (i) Many dominant reef builders spawn eggs and sperm into ...

Bathymetry of the Coral Reefs of Weizhou Island Based on Multispectral Satellite Images
Remote Sensing, 2017 Shallow water depth measurements using multispectral images are crucial for marine surveying and mapping. At present, relevant studies either depend on the use of other auxiliary data (such as field water depths or water column data) or contain too many ...
